Roof rack rails?

I need to bring home a screen door (36”x80”) using my 2025 Forester and find myself in need of ski rails to go across the existing roof rails. Prices vary widely with the Subaru brand accessory being exorbitant. I probably won’t use them for skis ever and maybe only a half dozen times in my life so I’m looking for something on the cheap side.

Suggestions and recommendations?

Drivers seat fabric tearing at stitching

2025 Forester Premium, about 21,000 miles and 1-1/2 years old. The drivers seat fabric is tearing at the stitching at the very front top.

No one has driven the car that weighs over 180 lbs. The car is parked in a garage over night, every night when we’re at home.

The dealership said they would have to talk with SOA to see if it’s covered. Anyone else having seat fabric issues? We’ve owned 2019 and 2024 Foresters and never had this problem before.

If SOA initially declines to cover, what are my options?

Fungus on belly?

Our Maggie just developed a rash on her belly in a couple of places. Anyone recognize this? A fungus perhaps? We live in the mountains and she often has red spots due to the grasses we walk though but this color is more greenish and the bubble are larger than anything we’ve seen before.

Sound dampener?

Just installed a system and I want to install a sound baffle or some kind since the air column noise is pretty noticeable. I see lots of options ranging from 16” inline pipe sound dampeners to 3” foam-like inserts. What works best and something I can add after the installation is complete? The top of the pipe currently has a 90 degree angle elbow on it.

Food that’s easy to eat with non-dominant hand?

Wife getting both hands operated on. The first is tomorrow with her right (dominant) hand. She has never let me spoon-feed her. Ever. Period.

Im looking for suggestions that I, someone who isn’t a pro in the kitchen, can make that she can fork, spoon, or slurp down with the other hand while recovering?

Adver-view a thing on CBS News

I just watched a product-sponsored “interview” on CBS Mornings. This morning news show has been airing obvious full-on Paramount partner-related segments as “news”for a while but this was the first time I’ve seen a thinly cloaked ad for a specific supplement product (Natrol?) in an interview-style segment. This ad was far more subdued than the CBS “Deals” segments and they had to show the typical caption of “This product is not FDA approved and has not been shown to cure, prevent…” yada yada just like with blatant supplement ads.

The downhill spiral of CBS News approaches bottom.
